Cancer meets neuroscience: the association between glioma occurrence and intrinsic brain features

The study uses publicly available datasets to build on recent literature showing extensive communication between glioma cells and the supposedly healthy cells surrounding the tumour. Preclinical research in this new field of ‘cancer neuroscience’ has uncovered direct neurogliomal synapses and a host of indirect cross-talk mechanisms between peritumoural neurons and glioma cells....
